Has ANYONE reared a Battle Chicken?

Stratics VeteranStratics Legend

Just hatched another 3 and that makes it about 30 I have reared. Still no sign of a Battle Chicken and no one I know has one either. Anyone else having any luck?. I would like to know in case its not worth persevering right now.

There are a couple threads in the Stygian Abyss forum with information on battle chickens. One person said there is about a 5% chance to hatch a battle chicken from any egg (I don't know if this is true). You also have to be sure it is watered properly every day.

I am not sure what the chance of success is, but if it is only 5% ( which is 1 in 20), then going 30 hatchings in a row without a battle chicken is not unusual. Not lucky if course, but not impossible.

My husband and i killed about 30 chicken lizards until i got one egg. Hatched it and it turned out to be a shadow iron coloured battle chicken .
I couldn't believe my luck as my tamer's always wearing a hooded shroud of shadows and rides a shadow Cu Sidhe too so it's the perfect colour

I have 6(after I hatch the two in the screenshot), one guildy has 2 or 3, another has something around 4, and I think theres another 2 that haven't gotten any yet....

Hello, my name is Mairut, and I have an addiction...*Hi Mairut...*

Hopefully when a person gets regular chicken lizards that lay eggs, the chickens can be transfered to a new owner, and then they can bond it and the chicken still lays eggs...(in other words, if the chicken lays eggs for one person, then hopefully it will do that no matter who owns it or how many times its xfered from owner to owner). I'm thinking about doing a small test on this theory later on, and hopefully I can get more people to do the same
HOPEFULLY it works like that.

I'm all for not having to hunt for eggs anymore, and I'm hoping to get laying lizards to guildies and friends who dont have 1hr everyday to get 3 eggs and then praying one turns into a battle chicken.

And when those who want battle chickens get them, we can have chicken fights! yay!

ok, sorry bout the confusion people. I did say 5% but.... It's actually 10% to start, then 5% if you miss one watering and finally 1% if you miss two waterings. Out of 35 eggs, i have hatched 3 battle chickens, a blue, a green and one I sold which looked green as well. Out of those 3 one egg was parched and still yielded a battle chicken. I generally incubate 3 eggs at a time and have only missed a watering the one time. There is detailed info at uo.com in the playguide. Go to the Stygian Abyss section.
